Nicki Minaj considering an 'American Idol' exit?
Rapper says she might bow out of Season 13; denies plastic surgery
For "American Idol" fans who think Nicki Minaj is all wrong for the talent competition show, there is hope. Minaj says she might not stick around after this season.
"I don't know, we'll see," Minaj, 30, said when E! online asked her if she would be returning. "See the thing is, we're only half way done so, I am absolutely enjoying 'Idol' but I don't know how I'm going to feel at the end of it."

In addition to less-than-stellar reviews of Minaj as a judge by music industry types and fans alike, the hip hop and pop star hasn't been getting along with her fellow judges. Minaj also said she will be heading back to the recording studio and might not have time for the show.

Minaj added that she and Mariah Carey, who she has famously bumped heads with, have made peace. "We had our differences, but it is all done with now, and we just get in there and do our job," Minaj told Yahoo.
She also told Extra that she hasn't had plastic surgery despite the rumors and that her unique look is achieved through MAC cosmetics. "I've never had surgery. When people see my makeup they think all types of crazy things that I'm doing to my skin, but it's makeup."
"American Idol" airs Wednesdays and Thursdays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on FOX.
I am appaulded that she makes a comment about a 19 yo contestants boobs as the contestants MOM is sitting in the audience
I have listened to her week after week say the most inappropriate things !!
When is A I going to put her off this show. She may critic singers well but her delivery is NOT PROFESSIONAL
She's a sweet heart, it takes all types of people to make this world go 'round. listen to yourselves... pure hatred. Everything that she says in her judging is usually dead on. Check her out: Millions of album sales, E! series, perfume, cartoon voice over, pepsi endorsement, mac emdorsement and the list goes on... somebody somewhere is on to something to bad you all are missing it.
Minaj doesnt bring enough class to the show. Our family gathers on Wednesday and Thursday nights to watch American Idol and she says highly inappropriate comments and now she is beginning to say extremely rude and demeaning things to the contestants. Pls put Jennifer back in that seat! Minaj aside, Keith Urban is always professional and provides constructive criticism when needed, not to mention he is super hot! Mariah is always beautiful and positive and Randy is able to critique contestants based on his professional experience.
